"This stew is sweet, tangy, and delicious. It is from my Husbands Grandma who lives in Fairfax, Virginia. Don't be scared off by the long list of ingredients, it is super easy to put together. It is very addictive. Great on a cold winter day!"

Serves:: 8-10

ingredients

2 large onions, chopped
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (12 ounce) jar chili sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
¹⁄₄ cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, cut up
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons mustard powder
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)

directions

Place chopped onion in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Cut each chicken breast in half and place over onion.
Add corn and remaining ingredients. Cook on high for 4 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken, shred with a fork, and return the meat back to the stew. Enjoy!
A lot of times I will cook a whole chicken and assemble the stew as directed, using the already cooked meat. If you try this, reduce the heat to low and just let it simmer in the crock pot for a couple of hours.

I have this recipe from another source and it is very good. I add some frozen corn kernels and a small bag of frozen baby limas. It's a great dish for a large gathering.

This is NOT Virginia Brunswick stew by any definition whatsoever. Brunswick stew has chicken, country ham, lima beans, onions, corn kernels not creamed corn, and tomatoes. Once cooked, it has a fairly light orange color, not bright red. It has little besides pepper for seasoning. Chili sauce and spicy seasonings are, frankly, blatant stew heresy. Not bad chili but not Brunswick stew. BTW, Fairfax is the other end of our state from where this stew was made famous. I understand the original recipe also has squirrel but I've never had any of that.

Very nice flavor. I'd almost call it a chicken chili. It made a ton, so plan on leftovers.
